Welcome to Lanes Island Productions

Lanes Island Productions is an independent documentary film company based in New York City. It was founded by Amy Brown in 2007.

Our films take viewers to the distant green hills of Rwanda and into minds and memories of women who entered adulthood on the eve of America's entry into World War II.

Whether in Rwanda, following journalism students debate how to build an independent press or in conversations with women still mourning the loss of the professional careers they abandoned when World War II ended, our films explore the complexity of people, situations and ideas with sensitivity and curiosity.
